Vertebral Subluxation
Vertebral Subluxation mean can be caused by the vertebrae shifting and trapping a nerve in the process. The Body is a delicate but highly durable machine. It is not uncommon for the body to correct itself when something goes wrong. Sometimes, problems with the body can arise from the spinal cord. Different techniques are used to rectify this, including subluxation.
That trapped nerve runs to an organ or a tissue that is then affected on the end. Malfunctions in the organ can be varied and the organ itself can look fine. To further complicate matters, that organ’s impairment can affect the rest of the body as well.
To correct the problem of the misaligned vertebrae the bones have to be manipulated back into position. The vertebrae are no doubt causing back pain but internal problems as well. It is important to fix the spinal alignment so that the body can get back to normal function.
Anything can bring about this type of condition. You might be thinking about a car accident or something catastrophic like that, but it can be something quite simple that does it. Let’s say that you fall out of bed one morning or get knocked down during a touch football game. All of these things can affect the spine. For mothers, having a baby can be a root cause.
There is one cause that we don’t think about. Your teachers in school probably tried to get you to sit up straight in your chair and pay attention. Poor Posture is the cause of some subluxations. Slouching in the chair, sitting with your body at odd angles or lying on an unsupportive mattress can lead to problems with the spine.
Also, vertebral subluxations typically have no symptoms. You might be saying that you have pain in your back or somewhere else. It’s just like being hungry. By the time your stomach begins to growl, your stomach has already been empty for some time. When you feel the pain of the subluxation it could have been going on for months. The pain is an escalation of the event that caused it in the first place.
But, people who have vertebral subluxations can present with a number of complaints including but not limited to numbness in an extremity, pain in a joint, neck pain, weakness, tingling and headaches. Other conditions that people see chiropractic for like Asthma or menstrual discomfort can be connected as well.
Subluxations are misalignments of the spine caused by a number of situations. They can be dealt with by chiropractic to put you back on the road to body harmony.
